well you say that but they inject you with the flu virus they say it is dead....BUT if it was dead the vaccine wouldnt work....some people are ok with it but some hmm are not...(guessing you fall into that group)..my mum has it as she as health issues but she is fine but my sis she had it last year and she ended up like you...our area manager wants as all to have it as we are part of the co op we can just rock up at a pharmacy and it don't cost us anything..but as i said i can think of a few thing the co op can give me for free but the flu nope...hope you feel better soon mate :y

To be honest I've never had a flu jab or caught flu in years in fact I don't think they did the jabs then. SWMBO has one every year and always ends up with a cold shortly afterwards, and then asks me if I want to get a flu jab!!! They only give you a general vaccine not a specific one for the epidemic if it arrives, then get a specific one for that strain.
I'll take my chances :yes

My understanding is that you will not get flu as a result of the jab. HOWEVER it will only protect (and this is NOT necessarily total protection in that you may well experience milder symptoms) only certain strains of the virus. Bear in mind all those who wereoff with the suspected swine flu the other year and because of the sheer number of people off sick the gvt was getting people to stay at home and take the tami pills.Turned out that only a VERY small percentage actually had that particular strain. This isnt to say that the other illnesses/flu-like illnesses were not quite severe (my wife's initial symptoms matched and I had to get her the pills but it turned out she actually had severe tonsilitis), but they werent that strain. It was all about resource (number of doctors v patients) and containment so fair enough. My company are offering free flu jabs and at my age I should get one but I wont. Why?Because I always get some sort of flu like thing around Christmas but given the extra pressure and far longer working hours I do over that period my imune system does get lower and in the end ,with me, it always comes down to be related to a sinus infection so lots of vit c/sudafed is doubtless in store-with the odd hot toddy thrown in for good measure Im sure ;D
